no problem using earplugs. A lot of folks here use them.

How do you like your Total Face Mask?

Your aunt should not be snoring if she's using CPAP successfully! She needs to be re-titrated (and her machine should be tested too).

Meanwhile, I don't see any harm in using earplugs.

Why are you assuming that her aunt uses CPAP?

The snoring is an indication that something is wrong with her CPAP system. It could be the machine settings are not correct, or the mask is leaking or it is not the correct type mask.

Let your Aunt use your machine , set to her settings, and see if she snores. That could give you a clue if her machine is working. If she does not snore using a different machine, same settings, her machine may be faulty.

Use Sleepyhead and post a screen shot to see if her settings need tweaking. What is her settings and what is her AHI running?

Because she "snores even with the mask on." What other kind of mask would she be talking about?

She never said the mask was connected to a CPAP machine.

I snore even with my cpap running great, if I get on my back. My snoring is odd, though, as it "puffs" on the exhale, not a problem on inhale. It even wakes me up, though.

Errr, ummm, you know your machine settings can be changed to prevent snoring?
